summer's over and the bells are ringin'
down the halls the girls are singin'
to the boys who will be bringin'
their science books to class
it's 2 o'clock and they can't sit still
brains are tired and they've lost their will
to pay attention then they get that chill
that begs the time to pass

'cuz all the kids
can't wait to go home
and turn on the radio
it's alive on the 45
with no place else to go
will I know

the kids are goin' crazy
for the high school rock
drivin' mom crazy
with the high school rock
rock, rock, rockin'
to the high school rock and roll

notes are passin' all around the room
homecoming is comin' soon
and the guys are gonna meet their doom
if they don't learn how to dance
the nurse's office is gettin' full
with all the boys that think they're cool
enough to get sent home from school
so they won't leave much to chance
